Notes

The Agricultural Marketing Information Centre (AMIC) was created in the early 1990s following the demise of the national agricultural marketing board and price controls on agricultural inputs, produce and other commodities. AMIC provides accurate and timely market information for private sector farmers, producers, manufacturers and traders. AMIC staff collect information on the prices of farm inputs and produce, via fax, phones, physical delivery by road and email. The data are then processed and analyzed to identify market trends, and disseminated by radio, TV and printed bulletins.
